Check out my serendipitous 6 move mate - playing as white!

A hearty hello to my fellow Lichess afficianados!

I was kind of just experimenting here with a nonstandard and unconventional opening - which was previously uncharted territory for me. I usually push forward my king and queen pawns, along with the routine development of my bishops and knights... but this game took a different turn from my normal strategy rather quickly.

My queen-side 👑 knight 🐴 did a bunch of hopping around and sealed the deal with a smothered checkmate on my sixth move. Does anyone know if this is a common sort of trap that I accidentally stumbled upon, or was it more of a lucky win instead - which isn't altogether common?!?!

Any and all insight that you chess-nuts might have on this game is both welcome and appreciated.

Serendipitously,

it actually isn't a 6 move mate or else white would always be playing that and winning... Black just blundered badly on move 5 after g6, allowing you to checkmate him

Thank you bloopy1!

From what I could find after looking online, the checkmate that Black blundered into here would be most similar to the general mating net exhibited by the "Kieninger Trap" in the Budapest Gambit (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Gambit#Kieninger_Trap) if Black had a pawn on e7 instead of a knight. As it stands, though, I don't think there's any particular name for the position in your game beyond just a smothered mate.

thnask yuo vrey muhc so kidn of yuo @xsf_nrg_4fr !1111!11!!!!

I don't know the name for the trap, but this looks like lichess.org/4wmVPSm0

Today I learned - NEVER fianchetto a bishop ! Much safer to fianchetto your knights !
